BadCopy Pro - User Testimonials
- One word: Brilliant!, My old CD-R has a nice big, deep scratch across it. Windows won't read the files. Yet somehow, BadCopy copied them straight off! If you need files off a dead floppy/CD, then this is the one and only program you should need. (Andrew Jones, from CA, US)
- Works great, only with several minutes, it restored a corrupt floppy and save several files perfectly. (Dave Brondsema, from NY, US)
- If you were involved in writing "BadCopy", I want to tell you that you did an amazing job, it has succeeded in getting back my half a year's work from one floppy disk -- an important zip file and some word docs. (Michael D Handeland, from London, UK)
- I want to say a big 'thank-you' for a superb piece of software. I beta test software for Rose City (tweakmaster etc) and I have to say that I tried about 4 other shareware solutions to recovering this data before I found BadCopy Pro. The data I was trying to recover was the result of over 3 months of hard work on a spreadsheet that one of my friends had (stupidly) carried around on a floppy (no backup and no hard-drive replica) in his truck to and from work. I guess that it sat beside the speakers a little too long one day and the 'FAT got smoked' (sounds like a joke). I have to tell you that at the moment he discovered that the disk would no longer read in his PC he would have gladly cut off his right arm to get it back. Glad to say that wasn't necessary as your program pulled the whole thing back together and we managed to completely rebuild the spreadsheet and recover all the many hours of hard work in about an hour - the recovery took 5 minutes then I had to compare the versions it recovered to discover the 'full' one. Worth every penny of the $40 and I have no doubt I will use it again as I am a User Support Analyst and often see this sort of corruption... (Nigel Forge)
- I bought BadCopy. The designer of this software deserves his weight in gold. I lost a full CDR with 499 MB of precious photos of a wedding. I will never know what has happened but no system was able to read the CD and I lost all hope, until I read something aboud BadCopy on a comptermagazine web-forum. I bought it and it worked. Absolutely fantastic This is what I call, value for money!!! Keep me posted for update/upgrades. I'll buy it anyway. (Rob van Rooijen, from Netherlands)
- You have saved me from hours and hours of work and possible failing grades. Other companies asked anywhere from $50-$250, and 4-7 day turn around time for this kind of restoration. I'll be sure to reccommend BadCopy Pro to anyone with this sort of disk failure in the future! (David Addison, Arizona University)
- Just another note to thank you for your help with these disks. You are right ... there was a lot of damage to them, but your program has helped as much as possible, and there is enough recovered to help us with re-creating the work. I will pass on your software name and web site to anyone who asks about software and program recovery, as I think you have a great product here. (Steve Joblin)
- Best $39.95 I've spent for a long time!!! This tool saved a project for me that would have had $40 as a rounding error! One thing - the progress dialog when you save the recovered file needs to show something. I recovered a 650MB image file and when it didn't record any progress when written although it worked ok. Thanks very much for an excellent tool. (Graham Welland)
- Yes, it's another letter of deepest gratitude! "Please" let it go to your heads! I arrived home this evening to find my daughter in tears. Apparently, her semester's worth of writing projects were all contained on a single "un-backed up" floppy, which had gone bad. "Both FAT 1 and FAT 2" were gone. What to do, what to do. After a quick check disk, and a poke at the Command prompt level only to be told that the disk was un-formatted, I did a quick search on Google. Your site came up first (kudos to your web guys/gals) downloaded your software and "File Mode 2" did the trick, 10 files, that all looked about the correct size. (Tom Lahey)
- I just wanted to tell you that I will recommend you software to all my friends. It is one of the first times that I (as a frequent buyer of shareware) haven't thought to myself, "I wish I hadn't paid for this." BadCopy Pro work perfectly, the first time and every time. Thanks for making a product that's functional and reasonable priced! (M. Cordero.)
- Just a small note to thank you for your excellent program. We bought your program a few weeks ago to assist with the frequent problem of corrupted disks and it has saved a lot of heartache for students with ruined floppies. Thanks again and keep up the good work. (Richard Austin)
- I was referred to your software by customer assistance staff at Microsoft. BadCopy Pro solved my problem beautifully, Thank you very much. I do appreciate. (Rick)
- Whatever frustration I had was more than offset by the effectiveness of your recovery ware. It worked like a charm to save a lost document I'd been working on for weeks to present to our prosecutor's office, for purpose of trying to do something about a contractor who took off with my money. I'd worked on the document for 10 -15 days, then it disappeared! I didn't have time to rethink and rewrite it, so your software saved the day. (Cal Calumet)
- Thank you very much for your prompt response. Your product works great, and was a life saver for my friend. I would recommend it to anyone who has issues with recovering a file from a disk. (Eric Walker)
- I had copied one year of photos to a CD, which I could not read anymore. Found your software on the web. It worked great!!! By far one of the best software application I have ever purchased.(Joe Keegan)

- Thanks very much indeed, you have saved my life. God bless you. (Daniel Uzcategui, Venezuela)
- Thank you again...this worked and I am able to use it as a Word file now. The format change eliminated all apostrophes and quotation marks, however, so I've got my work cut out for me! A small price to pay, I guess. (James)
- Just wanted to drop you a line about the subject product. I have purchased two other products that claimed to retrieve data from damaged direct CD disks, and both failed miserably on a CD I really wanted to retrieve the data from. Your product worked perfectly and retrieved every piece of data I had saved. I thought the floppy disk retrieval portion was a nice added feature but thought I'd never use it. Well I accidentally deleted all files on a floppy I needed and your program worked again flawlessly. What is really amazing is it is so incredibly small and so powerful. Thanks so much for this fine product. (Dave Tipton)
- Thanks, I downloaded it, purchased a key, used it and it recovered my bookmark.html file. It worked fine. I'm a satisfied customer. (Robert Paredez, Los Angeles)
- Your software enabled me to pull another "rabbit out of a hat" today! I am becoming a legend in my own mind ;) It is not that often that I get excited about software. Feel free to use my comments. (Sam Norris)
- Most of the detail we need is readable. I would recommend your software and services in the future. (Mr. P. Hall)
- Thanks for the assistance. The colleague whose time was spent doing the original dat entry has just gone home extremely happy that the 552 records are present (formatting etc can be sorted more quickly than wholesale re-entry). (Mike Anderson, UK)
- I was able to successfully recover all files. This program is outstanding. (Phil Fletcher)
- To the programming team that developed BadCopy Pro. Thank you. Best $40.00 I have spent in some time. I work at a computer school that has about 250 lab and staff computers. Ever since we upgraded to Windows 2000, we have had frequent floppy disk failures. From my personal experience, I have taken a new disk, copied data on it in one computer, moved it to another, where the OS said the disk was not formatted, or it failed to read al all-nor would it read in the original drive. Here to fore, recovery was difficult. Some of the tools I have allow the disk to be accessed in raw format. I had to find the data, carve it out into a new file, losing all the format. Not an elegant solution. We have, as yet, not been able to determine what W2K dislikes about certain floppies. Bad Copy Pro, in its lowest level recovery, does the trick. It even turned out to be a useful tool in the classes I teach.
- That was exactly what I was needing. Thanks for making such an easy to work with product! Have a great day. (Keith)
- I just want to let you know that I did retrieve the original CD, and was able to recover the file!!!!!! It was a very important file, and I was extremely happy to be able to recover it. You truly have a great product. Thank you! (Darryl Dinson)
- you guys are really on the ball ... and have a great product, to-boot! (barbara)
- THANKS! I am very impressed and will spread the word about your program. (Nigel Forge)
- the file you have returned to me is a GOOD recovery. This has solved our problem. Thanks very much for your help. (Paddy)
